ericferret...What???
The MEL is approved by the licensing authority (i.e.-HZ, N, S9, G, etc..)
Years ago I was an FE on a 727 heading out of MIA for South America...One generator was inop, which was legal within our MEL...
I informed Maint that the Capt would most likely refuse the a/c, so they should probably try to find a generator...
Maint said it was legal, Capt says great, I'll fly it to ORD or LAX, but not over the Andes at night w/ only 2 generators...
A lesson I learned and live by...Just because te MEL says "it's" legal, dosen't mean "it's" safe...
Well done to the DHL Capt...
